Virtual Reality is only good for things like Google Earth (& perhaps Google Mars in future), some games & motor vehicle, watercraft or aircraft simulations. Augmented Reality would only be good if integrated with a GPS or a mapping system of sorts or maybe Google Images & Google Translate, I can't imagine it being used for communication while driving any vehicle or aircraft - other than a large ship - without it being a huge inconvenience if it's used for messages or other unimportant cellphone notifications.
Personally, the only eyewear tech that could be of great use would be of some geolocation use e. g. to isolate & highlight items in the real world. I can imagine AR devices that could locate a person, vehicle, location like those Rekkie smart snow goggles. AR devices linked to Google Maps where you could stalk down & hunt your stolen motor vehicle with some micro GPS trackers. I imagine if your smart glasses have a very high-resolution camera, you could hyper-zoom & see objects that are very, very far away including celestial or extraterrestrial objects. Perhaps even add x-ray vision because it can be done with modern technology.
Other than internet searching images, translating text & geolocation, some night vision or heat vision could come in useful in AR glasses... just not the nightmare of recieving messages or calls in your direct view while driving.
In any case; unless you're driving, cycling or doing military operations - these are all features that could be better put in a smartwatch than uncomfortable, heavy eyewear including the nightvision, hyper-zooming, x-ray vision, heat vision & geolocating.
